Carguychris; you are correct. My comment was mostly in frustration that "most" of the press and talk shows are quickly brushing by the academic argument in favor of more feelgood and shock talking points, as usual.

Whenever I discuss this with others, antis and advocates, I try to avoid the militia subject, as it often raises eyebrows in the wrong way. To average Joe, it often does not matter if its in the constitution...especially if it does not "sound right" to them. Like it or not, that's the gospel.
